Piezoelectric Extending Transducer (Q220-A4BR-1305XE) Model:Q220-A4BR-1305XE the piece expands along the

the piece expands along the axis of polarization (thickness direction) and contracts perpendicular to the axis of polarization (length and width direction)

It also exhibits good performance as a resonant actuator

This allows the user to experiment with using the device in series or in parallel and also in bending mode or in extension

A 2-layer piezoelectric actuator produces curvature when one piezo layer expands while the other layer contracts

Piezoelectric Extending Transducer (Q220-A4BR-1305XE) Model:Q220-A4BR-1305XE the piece expands along theA 2 layer element behaves like a single layer when both layers expand (or contract) together. If an electric field is applied which makes the element thinner, extension along the length and width results. Typically, only motion along one axis is utilized. Extender motion on the order of microns to tens of microns, and force from tens to hundreds of Newtons is typical.
